Report Logic

Reports a record for each active course number in the selected Course Catalog(s).

Courses only report once per Course Number even if the course exists more than once in a Course Catalog or in multiple catalogs.

Courses marked as inactive or exclude on the Course Master do not report.

When the Full Catalog checkbox is marked on the extract editor, the report returns all courses including courses with no scheduled students. 

Do NOT mark this checkbox when creating the file for state submission.

When the Full Catalog checkbox is NOT marked, the report only returns courses with at least one student scheduled in the Academic Year selected on the extract editor.
